At the annual Ananda Harvest Festival in Bagan, Myanmar, thousands of monks
from all over Myanmar came to receive alms. While walking around the vast
temple grounds, I chanced upon this boy monk who was playing with his toy
gun. Even though it was only a toy gun, I found this image a disturbing
juxtaposition of the peace that Buddhism embodies and the violence that guns
symbolise.

Photographers are being invited to enter the contest, which ends June 30.
